The hand drawn illustration is of a windswept hawthorn tree which can be seen in most counties in the west of Ireland. It is considered to be a fairy tree and bad luck to cut down. Many roads wind around these fairy trees, because in the past it was deemed far safer to divert a road than to cut a magical tree!

This Irish gifts and homeware decorated with nostalgic illustrations by Máire McKeogh evokes fond memories and celebrates the generosity and love of Irish friends and families.
